Re: opinion needed

If your goal is fuel economy, then a V6 is an excellent choice. But your limiting the power potential and the aftermarket support that will be available to you. I would get a V8.

Re: opinion needed

Really if you want to build a V6 powerplant the 3.4 is an excellent starting point! especially with a 5-speed

The 3.4 is much stronger than the 2.8 or 3.1 v6's offerent in the third gens and also has plenty of room for improvment without costing you a crapload in gas
